My Brother

I have not been able to stop thinking about my brother Brad.  He has always been known for being a little wild and crazy when it comes to playing with his "Toys"  (snowmobiles, dirt bikes, ect.)  and everyone always talks about how good he is and how fun it is to watch him.  He has always had no fear and has a great talent for those things.  This past week he was watched over by Angels and was blessed so many times.  It is crazy to think of how the spirit speaks to us and helps us in times of need.  I am going to copy a little of what Sara wrote about it and then I will add…..

Brad will probably be mad at me but I am feeling very grateful so I need to share my gratitude, right? Brad was in a huge avalanche on Monday. He almost made it to the top of the hill when the whole hill broke and slid. He very quickly became engulfed in a huge amount of roaring snow. He said that they always teach you to swim your way to the top but he knew if he did that he would die so he put his feet out in front of him and tried not to roll and get caught on the undertow. He was able to come up for air a few times but the snow kept pulling him under. As things started to slow down he was prompted to raise his hands. When everything stopped only a few fingers were sticking out of the snow. His friends Jeff Evans and Keith Evans saw his fingers. They had watched him come up for air a few times so they knew kinda where he might end up. They got to him pretty fast and dug him out. The snowmobile (Greg's sled) is gone buried somewhere under the snow in Bedford, WY. I am so grateful for his friends and the fact that they stayed so calm and watched for him bobbing red helmet. I am also so grateful that he wasn't buried with the snowmobile. I'm not writing this so everyone will give me there condolences and woe is me pitty. I'm writing this cause TONS of our friends snowmobile and they need to know avalanche danger is real especially this year. Be careful. Be smart. Be safe. I can't even imagine how horrible it would have been to tell my 4 kids that daddy wasn't coming home. I will thank The Lord everyday. 

He said a few things that I really believe was the spirit telling him what to do.  Like when he said he had a feeling not to swim and just slide down.  And then when it all came to a stop he had a feeling to put his hands up.  If he wouldn't have listened to that they wouldn't have been able to see his fingers in the snow to dig him out.  There was a few other cool things he said and I know that he was watched over and protected.  He has some important things left to do on this Earth and is still needed by his family.  Brad is such a strong person and a huge influence to others.  I don't know if it is possible to not love him!  He has the personality that is fun and outgoing and everyone loves to be around him.  He can always make you laugh and is just an amazing person.  I love my Brother and I am so thankful that he is alright.  I keep thinking that it is crazy that they found Brad so easy and they STILL have no idea where the sled is.  I am so grateful it wasn't the other way around!   I know this was a miracle and It has just made my testimony and faith grow.
